The “hero with a gun” and spokesman for Gun Owners of America discusses some potentially heinous actions by the agency.
Congress is soon going to vote on potentially reauthorizing FISA 702, which could leave a huge impact on Constitutional rights – especially to gun owners.
With this potentially being re-approved, that will allow the Bureau of Alcohol, Fire, Tobacco and Explosives (ATF) to “monitor foreign terrorists outside our borders,” as well as other potential threats. However, that’s vague territory, as that means the agency would be free and clear to spy on Americans. Including gun owners.
Once passed, FISA 702 could allow the ATF, or any agency for that matter, to collect personal information on millions of Americans. Members of Congress even noted that this “poses a serious threat to Americans’ privacy,” including where they go to church, where their children go to school, and whether they have visited a gun store or shooting range.
That’s a big one, especially considering that the Second Amendment protects the right for anyone to keep and bear arms.
How big a problem could this become? Joining us now to discuss this further is Stephen Willeford, the spokesman for the Gun Owners of America. You may recall Willeford being the “hero with a gun” with the Sutherland Springs situation in 2017, in which he’s co-authored a book. His expertise on gun rights make him an ideal guest for this interview. Welcome, Stephen!
Q&A:
- What are your thoughts on FISA 702, and the potential threat it holds against private gun owners?
- Why is it that Biden seems fine allowing bills like this to be re-authorized, even if it violates the rights provided by the Constitution?
- Members of Congress made note that this clearly violates the rights of Americans. So why are so many still looking for it to be re-authorized?
- Do you think the re-authorization could come back to haunt Biden as he attempts to seek re-election in this year’s Presidential race?
- What recommendations do you have when it comes to voicing your disapproval of re-activating this bill?
- You recently wrote a book called A Town Called Sutherland Springs: Faith and Heroism Through Tragedy, revolving around your 2017 “hero with a gun” situation. Tell us more about how this came together, and why it’s such an important read right now.
- Where can people find your book?
- Where can we learn more about you, as well as Gun Owners of America?
